| I bought a grab bag of assorted world coins at a pawn shop for $20. I could tell it had enough silver in there to make it worth it. When I got home, I kept finding more and more :-) I found there were 48 50% silver sixpence, 47 50% silver threepence, a sterling shilling, 5 sterling sixpence, 25 sterling threepence, all Australian. Also 2 US silver dimes, and a 50% New Zealand sixpence. |

| Thanks everybody. The amounts I mentioned in my original post were AUD. I have updated my profile, I have moved for the US to Australia a little over a year ago. I collect US and Australian coins, also Canadian and some UK coronation medals. I bought a 1932 florin in F for $350 after looking at dozens, still shopping around for the Centenary florin. Pincetane, you did very well. I think I would need to pay at least $400 for a similar coin. Many are listed at $500+ |

I would focus on coins that are interesting and appealing but affordable to get in somewhat nice condition.
Large cent, Flying Eagle cent, Liberty nickel, walking liberty half, maybe VF-EF.
Morgan dollar, Peace dollar, Buffalo nickel, steel cent, silver Roosevelt and Mercury dimes, Washington quarter, Kennedy and Franklin halves, Uncirculated.
You will enjoy them, and can gradually move to other goals such as a gold coin, or earlier type coins |

Welcome, gregorystan
I am a US coin collector, with an Australian wife, so I have become interested in Australian coins
I have a 1938 King George VI Crown, and a Queen Victoria Melbourne sovereign. I like the old sterling florins, and the 1966 50 cent coins |

A nice group of proof and uncirculated coins. Wow, it all looks like 65 or better to me, except for the 1955 Franklin.
Over $600 total value here by the Red Book. (I know that's too high)
Still a nice batch of eye candy, part of a package deal, along with an album of 34 Standing Liberty quarters, including 1917-D and S, type 1, 1918, 1919, 1920-D, 1920-S, 1924-D, 1924-S, 1927-D and 1927-S, all
Good, except the 1917-S type 1 is AG.
Also about 60 nice G-F Indian cents, and about 15 G "V" nickels, and a few other odds and ends.

I still have it danim. I had it listed on eBay about 2 years ago, it did not sell. I think I was trying to get something like $50, not really knowing what it was worth, even after googling, looking for another on eBay etc.
It did not sell, I don't think I got an offer either. It weighs 15 grams, mine is number 1580. .900 is on the token, in small print, to the right of the castle. Mintage is probably fairly low, but demand may not be that great either.. Melt value is about $7.50. Someone who likes it might pay $10, I don't think it would bring more than that. |
